The Soft Coup Against Trump Was Real

with it. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember this is a president who has performed over and over and over again. He's moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He's brought back jobs from China to America. The economy is roaring. We've got

a number of people that were hostages brought home. Every time they say he won't do it, he does do it. He's going to do it this time. I'm confident of that. I believe that he will take it executive action to make sure he gets the dollars that he needs to make sure that that wall gets built. Congress won't do his job. Quite frankly, we could have done a lot better. We could have given him the five point seven billion that he requested, but instead he's having to embark on

a three step process that I applaud. I mean, you know, I can tell you that I wish that the executive branch would have less ability to do things on their own. We'll be voting to deliver another down payment on the President's comment just occurring our nation's borders and keeping American immunity to shape, and we'll do it free from the influence of poison pills that's thought to the derail progress and schipel compromise. Welcome to the buck, Sex and show

everybody here. We are about to find out if what has been reported is true that they're awaiting as we go to air, they're awaiting a House vote on an omnimus bill to avoid a shutdown, right so, a continued spending bill, and the Senate has already put it through.

We're awaiting the House to vote on it. The White House has already said that the President is going to sign it, and then we are told the plan is for there to be a declaration of a national emergency, which I would wager would only last hours before probably the ninth circuit, but who knows which circuit shuts it down, and then the government just continues on as it is. This is not a victory. It would not be true.

It would not be honest for me to say that it's a victory assuming this all goes through as plan. Remember I'm doing this show live, and this is where we are right now. Trump originally wanted twenty five billion dollars for the border wall. Later on, after consultation with experts, they pick some key areas, and I'm okay with this more pointed and more exact expansion of the already hundreds of miles of barrier fencing based upon areas with the

greatest need. I think that's reasonable, and I think that it's an easier sell to if not the Democrats who are completely unreasonable on this, it's an easier sell to the public that hey, we need this stuff, let's do it, and then you can show as you build in these key areas, the metrics prove that what we already know, which is that wall's work, is in fact the case.

But it went from twenty five billion two five billion, and now Democrats agreed to one point six billion when the five point six billion was asked for, and then it now has come to pass that the bill called the bill is at one point three seven five billion,

which is enough to construct fifty five miles. That's not a whole lot when you're talking about a two thousand mile border, and I know that it would take time to build this, but I can't get excited about fifty five miles of border fencing when you already have hundreds and you need a whole lot more. There's also prohibitions in this omnibuses and this is just from what I've been reading today, so some of this could be in

the process of getting changed on the hill. In the bill, there's a prohibition against any wall being built, and there's also a so so they just that's mostly a political thing. Because the ballard fencing, as I've seen when I was in San Diego at the border, the ballard fencing, which is these these metal these metal posts, and they also have a jump shield at the top, a jump plate at the top. That's the most effective stuff they've got, So I'm fine with It's also a lot easier to replace.

You can break through a wall pretty easily, and if you break through a cement wall, it's really hard to rebuild. The fencing can be rebuilt in pieces quickly and easily, and it also allows you to see through to the other side, which is important for border patrol. So the fencing, but that just shows you how petty really the Democrats are being no wall so that way that they just want it to be impossible for Trump to say that any wall is being built, but fencing will be built.

But then you have some other prohibitions I see in here that they have to consult. Section twenty three two three two A of the bill says that quote prior to use of any funds available by this Act for the construction of physical barriers, Department of Homeland Security shall confer and seek to reach mutual agreement regarding the design and alignment of physical barriers within that city. Who do you think they have to reach agreement with, folks? That's right,

local politicians. What has become one of the favorite talking points, one of the favorite talking points of Democrats on this

whole issue. Oh, let's put a congressman from a border a border district on TV to say he doesn't want offense, he doesn't want to Well, yeah, that's because the demographics have changed so much because of illegal immigration that congressmen and mayors and different elected officials along the border don't want to be seen as pro wall because to be pro wall, thanks to the Democrats, is to be anti Central American and Ti Mexican. This is what they say.

It's it's rooted in racism. And while that's unfair and it's not true, that has political consequences. So of course politicians, not the experts, not border patrol, not the people that have to really deal with this. Politicians are going to go with whatever's popular and in some bordering in some border districts, they don't want to have to be in favor of something that might cost them their job. They

don't care what it does. You also have. I mean, there's there's a piece today that really got my attention from from Daniel Horowitz on this one, who's running over at Conservative Review, who just breaks this down. He says he's got five areas, five provisions of the bill that contains or that are problematic. His number three here is that the bill contains a blatant amnesty for the worst

cartel smugglers. Section two to four A prohibits the deportation of anyone who is sponsoring an unaccompanied miner, an illegal alien, or who says they might sponsor an unaccompanied minor, or lives in a household with an unccompanied minor, or a household that potentially might sponsor one. He writes, it's truly difficult to understate the betrayal behind this provision. One of the driving factors of the invasion is the misrepresentation of

the unaccompanied minor under law. Under current law, Central American teenagers are only treat as refugees if they are a victim of a severe form of trafficking and have no relatives in the country. Yet almost all of them are self trafficked by these very illegal relatives who are indeed president in the country. Rather than clamping down on this fleecing of the American people, the bill gives amnesty to

the very people paying the cartels to invade us. And then he goes on and this is the part that I knew is going to be the case. Well, the Democrats wants more funding for the areas of the immigration system right now, and again we're waiting here for a House vote as we're on air, a House vote on averting another government shutdown by putting forward this spending bill that would carry carry the government through for X amount of months, and then Trump is going to declare a

national emergency. I think some of us are going to say, well, I guess the negotiations have shown that Democrats are extremists. That's good. Democrats are extremists on the border. The Democrats are totally unreasonable on this issue of immigration, that they are pro illegal immigration, that they do not want these laws to be enforced at the border or in the interior. And we've got a real problem because one of two political parties in this country is effectively now anti sovereignty.

They won't say it, they would argue if you said this to them, but it is true. Are opposed to us having any meaningful control over who comes into the country and stays and who does not is unsustainable. This is a major problem. Back to this piece and conservative view, which was excellent today, I have to say a hoards did a really good job with a number four more funding to manage and induce the invasion rather than to deter it, while offering no new funding for ice, deportation

agents or immigration judges to speed up asylum claims. As the President requested, This bill adds another forty million dollars for the Alternatives to Detention program, which moves asylum seekers to facilities in the interior of the country where they are usually released. This bill will further expand and institutionalize the catch and release policies for those arriving illegally at

the border from all over the world. Most of these people have no intention of asking for asylum and know they don't qualify it, but they are simply joining the illegal population, knowing it's unlikely that they will be deported. What have I been telling you all along, it's a huge scam. If you understand our current system, you know how to game it, you know how to get around it, and you will be able to stay in the interior of the United States without any realistic fear of deportation.

No matter who we're talking about here now, you could. The only possible exception would be if you are a hardened criminal who's already been deported, or you're on a terror watch list and they take your fingerprints and they're able to tell that you're somebody who's a real concern. But if you're just an average person from Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, l Salvador, China, India, in all these countries where we do have Bangladesh illegal aliens showing up, you will know

that you can stay in the United States. Now if you come to the bar. I almost hesitate sometimes to talk about it because part of the only thing that saves us here is that not more or migrants know about this. If they knew what was going on, I think they would have a harder time doing anything but this right. They wouldn't want it. They wouldn't want to pay smugglers and do all this that. They'd want to

just do caravents. And there's more caravents forming. Why because they are safe in numbers to get to the border, there's media presence there to cover their their plight, and then they can just show up and surrender. They can show up and they can surrender. This. By the end of this year, as I've been saying, we're going to be at a half a million, half a million illegal entries, or rather a half a million people who are effectively about to be illegal, and Democrats are saying that we

should not care. This is not a problem, there's no crisis, it doesn't matter. It's all racism. It's all because Trump is bad. Orange Trump equal bad. That's all. That's all they really think about. And we should all be very trouble the fact that the Democratic Party is now selling this country out. They are selling us out, all of us, everybody, everybody who's an American is being sold out by the Democratic Party because they do not care about assimilation in

this country. They do not care about rule of law in this country. All they care about is the relentless pursuit of power. And they see continue illegal immigration, the lawlessness, the pain, the suffering that comes along with it, both for the illegal immigrant in many cases and for the people that have to deal with this in their communities or at the border. They see that as the cost

of doing business. Now, that's the Democrat view of it, and even it says otherwise is either kidding themselves or an idiot. I've got more on this, by the way, I as soon we've got some breaking news. They'll tell you about running the side of the break. Stay with me. I've just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump, and he would say to all my colleagues, is indicated he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at same time, and I've

indicated to him that I'm going to prepare. I've got to support the national emergency declaration. So for all of my colleagues, the President will sign the bill, will be voting on it shortly. It's not good enough. It's not good enough. I wish I could say otherwise. I was just digging in a little more into the fine print, and this bill has some real trojan horse stuff in it. I mentioned this to you at the top of the show,

but I was looking at it again. And you can't remove any potential sponsor member of a household of a potential sponsor. So this means that anyone who is in the family of somebody that has an unaccompanied minor border crosser cannot cannot be deported. Think about the incentive structure here. Now, if you haven't sent your kid to the southern border, you better darn will do it a sap send as many kids as you can to the border. For families that have already been split up by some people coming

into America illegally. There's lots of that going on. And once you've done that, this bill, if Trump signs it. As i'm reading it here, I mean, I'm seeing it described as quote a bill to turn a children into human shields against deportation for would be illegal immigrants from a Mickey Couse here who is a Democrat, but an immigration really I lives in California, and he understands what immigration is really doing. This is this is a big problem. I don't I don't think Trump can sign this. I

don't know if he's going to. We will know by the time I guess the show is over tonight. But I don't think Trump is going to be in a position to sign this thing without when when we realize what's well, it's over a thousand pages this bill, folks, this is a disaster. This is not good. Oh my gosh. This is what we've been fighting for this whole time. This is what we've been trying to trying to get to. This is the the end state. It's just not good enough.

The local veto against the wall for politicians along the way, these are all Democrat districts now, because they're along the border. Because of the impact of illegal immigration over years and years and years, these are now even in places like Texas, these are flipped flipped in terms of their partisan affiliation. It's it has already happened. But this shielding of people from deportation if they have any connection whatsoever to an

illegal alien crosser child. Keep in mind that people are saying that they are sixteen who are thirty, and they very rarely will go through the process of trying to medically prove that they are not sixteen or seventeen. They just let them in the interior of the country. This is less money than Democrats originally agreed to veto power over the wall. You know, this encourages even more legal immigration. This is a bad the bad bill, folks. I wish I know, I'm a bummer. I'm sure there's some like

little Trump cheerleaders somewhere. They're doing radio shows or something. They'll say, Oh, it's great easy. Nope, I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you this was good. It's not good. I wish I could say that this negotiation has yielded the results that I've been hoping for all this time. Nope, And There's also a concern about if he signs the budget bill and then declares a national emergency, why wouldn't

you declare the national emergency before signing the bill. I know it sounds like just a process issue or a process question, but I think that there could be some ramifications to that too. You're just gonna You're gonna tell us as a national emergency, but you're just gonna sign a budget for business as usual. This is a little bit of cross purposes, isn't it. I know I'm keeping it real and people don't always get excited about that. But we've got a much more show coming up. I

think the presidents will get a spot. It depends on how they right away. He's certainly inclined to sign it or some things in there that that are dead for a word, security and let him march toward billions de gaps by executive action. Executive action. Huh, that's what this has all come down to. Look, we were told that Trump was he said it. I'm not saying that. This

isn't even somebody else describing this way. He's the greatest negotiator. Ever, how am I to tell you sitting here that this negotiation is one the Trumps has been successful and I can't say that. Yeah, I speak the truth to you. It's what I that's my mandate every day here on the show. This negotiation did not go Trump's way. This bill is a bad bill. The money, it's not just the money, it's the provisions within the bill. It's the

eleven hundred pages. You dig into some of this stuff, you say, wait a second, this is gonna make the problem worse at the border. This is gonna be more lawless, this more open borders. They're just trying to slam this thing through and hope that nobody reads it. I'm just looking at certain provisions of it. I haven't a time to read an eleven hundred page bill. Who's going to read the eleven hundred page bill? Why is it eleven hundred pages? And it's dealing with immigration issues that no

one talking about. They're trying to just this is classic swamp behavior. This is all of this stuff that we've believe that Trump was fighting against. And I'm not blaming it entirely on the president. That wouldn't that's not fair either.

I'm just trying to describe the situation as it is, and this is a loss for anybody who wants border security and interior enforcement and an end to all the different scams that are currently being run to get around our legal immigration system, for people who think that they have a right to be here, and a Democratic Party that is absolutely shameless on this. You know, Trump said that we were you know that he was going to fight on this one. And now we're going to go

into a declaration of emergency. Now that the Democrats and this I can tune out a lot of their criticism on those Oh, it's gonna said a terrible precedent, a couple of things on the precedent talking point. You're gonna hear a lot of that assuming Trump sign signs us thing tonight. Oh, by the way, I told you those breaking news side note, Bill Barr has been sworn in as the attorney general, so we have a new attorney general, everybody,

Bill Barr. I also think we're going to hear the end of the Muller probe within the next two weeks. That's why that's right, John, I put I put it on the table, my friend. I make the bold predictions here. I think you're gonna have it within two weeks, and that doesn't mean that this ends. They're just going to go into different investigations. They're just going to act like the Muller probe was the appetizer, and the main course is going to be all the different congressional inquiries and

all the subpoenas that are gonna fly. And these are just remember these are just don't don't get all caught up in the title's Deputy Attorney General, deputy assistant Attorney General all this stuff. These are just Democrat lawyers for the most part. And Bob Barr, I'm sorry, Bill Barr. I'm not the only one who does that every instance, Bob bar Bill Barr is a competent guy, and I think he'll do I think he'll be do a solid job.

Bill Barr is solid. But the DOJ problems and we're going to get more into this the next hour and what we found out about what's going on with what was going on with Annie McCabe and really bad stuff, really really bad stuff. All right, So back to just the executive order, the executive order component of this one. Obama was essentially ruling by executive order. In the second term, Obama gave us DACA, which is now treated as law that can't be overturned. DACA is almost to the left

now like a constitutional right. The president can't overturn DOCCA. It was just presidential discretion. But now they're saying because of the processes of fair notice, and I mean, they're just they're just making stuff up anything in the court to keep DACA alive and well. And even if you say, buck, we're not going to deport a lot of people covered on a doctor. Yeah, but it becomes then part of the bargain for a real deal on immigration. But Obama was doing this stuff and we all said, you know,

this sets a really bad precedent. They didn't care. They didn't care. As long as the left was getting what they wanted, they were fine with it. So that's part one of this, all right. And then on the oh my gosh, look at the president. Trump is setting boy declaring a national emergency. This will be like other things that Trump has done that he has a legal right to do as president. In some cases that he has statutory support for specific laws passed by Congress to help

him accomplish something, and they still stop him. The court still shut him down. And now we'll have to look at is all right, what comes next after the court shut this down? And how quickly can the Trump administration prevail on this. I don't think it'll be able to prevail before the next election. So really, this just punts

it past twenty twenty. But those who were saying that the liberals are gonna seize on this and they're gonna, yeah, they would seize on it any if they get power again, do you think they're gonna say, well, we were gonna do this by executive fiat, but you know, we want to play fair because Trump was fair on this one. This is nonsense. This is just allowing a kind of boy scout No offense to the boy scouts, but boy scout attitude to prevail in what is a an all

out political street fight. And that's what the Trump administration's in right now. And I'm telling you, this is a bad bill that they're about to sign, and the National Emergency is not going to change anything. So we're not winning this fight right now. The fight's not over. I got to hear from the White House. I gotta make some calls what they're planning next. But right now Trump is not winning. Trump is not in fact going to come out on top of this, what is the strategy

and how do we get the base fired up? I don't remember it was build the wall. If we have sixty senators, you know, build the wall. If we have a supermajority, build the wall. If we have all of government and Republicans that are whimps on this issue. You know that that was not the chant. It would make me president. We will build a wall if we can't. Now as a country, have an election where the central, the central differentiation point for the winning candidate is a

promise to build a barrier at our southern border. If we can't accomplish that, these people are talking about a Green New Deal and how we went to the moon. I want to say to them, you guys, won't even let us build a fence. Won't let us build a fence unless it's around some fancy celebrity's house right back. Oh look, all they gotta do as you said the earlier talks to the engine moms. But you know, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schuman refused to talk to angie moms.

They refuse to go down the border and talk to the experts. To be women in green, to put their lives alone, every day, so they don't know what manufactured crisis. They say the walls and marls an effective. They refuse to look at the data because the data shows every place that various build has worked. And you forgot one umbers John one hundred and thirty eight thousand criminal Amians were arrested by ISIS past year. It will to goal Alians that committed crimes in this country. They just didn't

appear here. They come across the southwest border. So it's it's terrible glad Tom Holman's out there making the case, and it's important for as many Americans as possible to

be brought the truth. And the truth is that the Democrats have aligned themselves now with the status quo at the border, which means the Democrats have aligned themselves with accepting large numbers of illegal ch of illegal aliens entering the country, a massive asylum scam, the flooding of our communities with drugs that come from across the border, and all of the political and social and economic disruptions of the lawlessness that occurs not just at the border but

also in communities across the country that have to bear the brunt of sanctuary city policies. Of they say that there's no downside to this. They act like it's not a big deal. Well, guess what. Sixteen hundred murderers, illegal alien murderers are currently in ice custody. So it's just not a tenable position that they try to cling to this. But it's not a tenable position for them to claim that there is not in fact a major problem here,

but they don't want to deal with it. In fact, the only funding that they really want to do, the only way they really want to tackle this problem is by saying that they want more money to process those who are scamming our system, to get them into the country even faster, and to ensure that there are even more left wing judges who are going to just say, you know what, we're not gonna We're never gonna enforce our laws, so we might as well not start now,

and we might as well just keep letting people stay, just keep letting people say at a minimum, I know I'm upset with Trump on this issue, and I think that this is this is not what it should be in terms of the deal. I think the deal is it's not a good deal. And if Trump is going to sign it and declare national emergency. I've seen this coming for a long time. A lot of people have. It's not correct to call this a win. It's just the fight continues, but it's not a win. At a minimum,

though the administration has woken I hope gosh. I hate using the term woke now because of the Left, but has made a lot of people realize who would not have otherwise, that there's a real problem going on and it has to be dealt with, and that we do not have willing partners in the Democrats for dealing with this. In fact, they are complicit in the continued illegality. They are seemingly unbothered by all of the negative effects of the drugs that are flooding into this country and by

the cartel activity the cartels. The human trafficking is funding the cartels the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Human trafficking is the people that are being currently brought to the border or brought in the United States illegally by coyotes who all work with the cartels. Those same cartel organizations have made the Mexican government it's puppet. They have made police forces across the country, military forces

in many cases their pawns. They absolutely corrupt them, and they're responsible for tens of thousands of murders a year. So once again we have Democrats posing as people who really care about these kinds of problems, posing as individuals who want to do everything in their power to make life easier for these migrants. But what about all the

Mexicans and Hondurans who don't come to this country. Shouldn't they have some hope that their neighbors to the north don't want the cartels to be able to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year doing illegal alien and human smuggling operations. So I do give Trump credit at least for that. Romney was actually good on immigration, right, You know, there's a total nonsense, total aside, but Ronnie is actually good on a legal immigration one of the

few Republicans. You think back to what Republicans have been saying this issue for a while. Every time they were supposed to be running for reelection and the border came up in some capacity, they're all border hawks, and then their legislation is always, well, yeah, we got to do amnesteam, We'll figure out the rest. Trump at least is not that at least is not that he has not won this battle, but he still seems willing to fight it.

So much crime comes in through our southern border. Illegal immigration provides a lucrative cash flow, to put it mildly lucrative to some of the most dangerous criminal organizations on the planet. These deadly cartels flood our cities with narcotics that kill thousands of our citizens, ruined families. They use fear, intimidation, and violence to get their way. There's only one moral course of action to put these ruthless criminal cartels out

of business, and out of business fast. I will never waver from my sacred duty to defend this nation and its people. We will get the job done. I can't think of a single policy that Democrats are advocating right now in this whole border dispute that would really make things harder for the cartels. In fact, the most important thing you could do would be to stop the human smuggling.

That would Maybe you could argue with me about whether we could stop the importation of drugs or not, or cut it down, whether that would just affect the street price. I know those arguments. I'm familiar with it. I'm familiar with the history of the drug or I get it. But the people that are being brought into the country are currently a huge source of funding for the operations of the cartels, and there's just no willingness in the

Democrats side to try and tackle that problem. Set So, you know, we're in this situation right now where I think the President did what right now he had to do. I don't think that another shutdown would have been a smart political thing to do. The Democrats would have just dug in and they would have just rubbed Trump's face in it once again. There would have been no change

in that dynamic. And if he does sign this and declare the national emergency, we've I've been saying along, everyone knows it, it goes in the courts right away, and then we kind of return to business as usual. And then we get into a situation for the next election, I guess, and we're gonna have Republicans saying, see, we tried. But I'm not going to forget that the Republicans did almost nothing on this issue for the first two years.

I'm not going to forget that. They made a lot of promises, but then when push came to shove, not just on immigration, but on healthcare. On a bunch of places, the Republican Party could not get it done. I know, we don't. I don't have the alternative because the left is so crazy. I mean, you know, the Republicans of the party we've got, but we can't just go along and say, hey, you know what, We're going to support you no matter what, and it's all okay, and it's

all fine. We've got to push them to take the right actions. And when we don't, when we're just kind of happy with funny tweets and smacking around annoying left wing reporters on TV and all that stuff, you know, when that's the standard, how surprised can we really be when it doesn't result in any actual change. So look, I I'm I don't know. And by the time you listen to this, maybe it'll already be signed and then

we'll already be in the state of emergency. I mean, I'm as we go to air, this is what we're being told. I think this situation has been pretty disappointing, and I think that the president you know, maybe I don't know, Mike, what do you think? Know what? What if we want to do a shutdown again. Is there any the Democrats will just dig in, They'll outlast I'm like they did the last time. I don't see how we get around this. Yeah, I agree with you, So

what's the this is? I'm not familiar with any time when a shutdown has resulted in the Republicans getting what they want and they took it. They took a political beating this last time around because of the shutdown. I don't see how that would change. And we do have to be mindful of the fact that we're heading into a twenty twenty election cycle here. I think June or July is the first Democrat debates, right the primaries of

the primary. And while I don't think people will remember the last shutdown, if you do two shutdowns and the media gets to run wild with it and talk about how heartless and terrible Trump is because of all this, then we may be in a bad spot, and we may be in a situation where it has ramifications for twenty twenty. But we should have had we should have had a wall in progress already, and we don't, and

that is a disappointment. We do have, however, a confirmation of the attempted soft coup against the president the United States courtesy of one former acting FBI director and Dye McCabe. This is a huge story from today that we are going to have to talk about. And I don't know if some people in the conservative media are just exhausted by this, but I'm surprised there's not more outrage. Man. You gotta get fired up every day, right, you know

how it is, You got to get into the grind. Well, if you're gonna be grinding, might as well have some black rifle coffee, right, That's the way I do it. Black rifle coffee is absolutely delicious.

I was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency, and who might have done so with the aid of the government of Russia. How long was it after that that you decided to start the obstruction of justice and counterintelligence investigations involving the president.

I think the next day I met with the team investigating the Russia cases, and I asked the team to go back and conduct an assessment to determine where are we with these efforts and what steps do we need to take going forward. I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion, that were I removed quickly or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be

closed or vanish in the night without a trace. That is the interview that was rocketing across the Internet today, with former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe saying that, well, among many things, we're talking about, of course, but saying that he was deeply concerned that somebody would try to shut down the Russia investigation after Coomy was fired, that Komy was the firing of Komi was a red line in essence that had been crossed, and that people I've seen,

I mean, I've read more and more of this guy stuff today, that people were wandering the hallways crying. If that's the case. If you think that the firing of the director, I can tell you this, I worked at the CIA. Nobody that I knew would have cried at the CIA director had been fired. That is a bizarre, childish thing to do. So there's there's some perspective that I can give you here that you won't hear from a lot of other folks because they've never been in

these kinds of large bureaucracies. We don't give a what who the director is in these places, the people that are doing And remember, I was a little I was low down, the low down the ORG chart. I was gonna say totem pole, but I feel like that's gonna get Can I say that am I appropriating? Hey? Maybe I'll ask Elizabeth Warren. So I was low down the ORG chart. That's right, John, I'll lean into it. I look around, I look over the edge that I say, boo, yeah,

I'm gonna jump. So you are a rude, terrible person. Fair point, fair point. So I look at this though, when I say the stories that McCabe is telling about how adults are crying in the hallway because James Comey was fired by the president. Comey acted in egregiously politicized fashion. And there's no debate about this. When he stood in front of the country and said that there will be no charges against Hillary. That's just a fact. Now. I mean,

there's really not a two sides to that discussion. That is just what has happened. That is the reality. And here we are listening to McCabe, who, according to the FBI Zone Inspector General, lied multiple times under oath and lied in regards to leaks to the press about Russia, investigated Russia investigation related materials. And I want to know some things like why shouldn't he be prosecuted, Why shouldn't he be you know, found guilty and sent to prison

if in fact he did lie. Remember we have been told many times now process crimes are real crimes. If you lie to the FBI, you should go to prison. Meanwhile, those people who say that the anti Trump lunatics out there's like, oh, let's right, lock up, lock up Roger Stone, who thinks that the world's a better place because Roger Stone goes to prison for lying about trivialities, lying about effectively nothing. But they say that, lock him up, Lock

him up. Meanwhile, if you lie to border patrol, you're also supposed to be able to be prosecuted. But border patrol gets lied to so much. It's part of the whole lawlessness of the system down there. That prosecutors know if they start prosecuting people for that, that they're the system will come to a screeching halt. All they'll be doing is prosecuting people who lie to a border control all the time. So that should tell you. That doesn't

mean that it does it's not a problem. It means that the problem is so big that they can't even begin to deal with it. But back to McCabe. He has lied multiple times. He has not been charged. I

would like to know why. And he is now coming out and saying and confirming what we've already known for quite a while, but which is now I think beyond any reasonable doubt that the FBI was engaged in an effort to overthrow the president of the United States, have a coup, get rid of the president, get him out of office. The top of the FBI was trying to get rid of this president. That should be a stunning revelation, that should be oh my gosh, what are we going

to do about this? Meanwhile, the meeting the press is like, Wow, any McCabe's really saying some troubling things about the president. I think the troubling thing is that this bureaucrat, this obvious Democrat wife, was buddy buddy with mccauliffe and the Clinton's and got all this money to run as a Democrat.

We're reaching a point now because things are so polarized that it's increasingly hard to trust any lib in the senior reaches of the law enforcement bureaucracy and trust that they're not trying to get their extra points for wokeness, trying to get their extra points for being some kind of a social justice warrior. You know, we're rapidly reaching a point where, you know, we're going to have to look at this and say, hold on a second, what is going on here. This is crazy, This is completely nuts.

The FBI director, former acting FBI director, is admitting to trying to leave in place an investigation that cannot be overturned, an investigation to find Russian collusion that Mueller after two years, has not been able to find. What was this based on. Are these idiots that he's talking about at the FBI? Are they still trying to cling to this whole Oh it's Carter Page and Papa Dot' that's what he was

so worried about. Unless they have something that we don't know about, which I think is increasingly in the realm of fantasy. But unless there's some huge thing that somehow has not come to light about what the FBI not even necessarily knew but thought they knew about Russia Trump collusion, how can they justify any of this? How does this

make any sense? And now you have Muller, I mean, you have a McCabe coming out and saying that there were discussions about the twenty fifth Amendment that was all real. And Rod Rosenstein, who is the Deputy Attorney General who's been overseeing the Muller probe, thought about wearing a wire against this president. We were supposed to think that these people have fair judgment about but based on what I just wish they could tell me one thing, Rosenstein, McCabe, comey,

where is the they're there? Where is the thing that I'm supposed to say? Oh, my Trump really did cross a line. I hear all this stuff about all his undermining democracy at our institutions, and we got to make sure that. And then I said, okay, well, what is it? What did he do? Uh? Manafort didn't pay his taxes and lied to the investigation that was sicked on him because he worked for Trump for a few months in the campaign as the campaign director. That doesn't That doesn't

get it done. Sorry that that doesn't put Humpty dumpty back together again. This is just crazy. Oh yeah, Roger Stone maybe lied about No, no, no, false? How is there hump We're outrage about this? How are people not more? Were unsettled at the prospect of these bureaucrats at the top of the FBI, the top of the DOJ thinking that they have a right to just go with these rogue investigations of the president justify a lot of it after the fact, I'm sure, in an effort to stop

him from being the president. And you know when we say, okay, you know what, tell us why why were you so worried about Trump? Andy McCabe, why were you so concerned? We're supposed to believe you. Oh, you got to protect the investigation. Oh we can't. Okay, what was going to happen? What was going to be that big reveal or what is the big reveal? Absolutely nothing so far. And Chris Starwalt said it, well, today we know, let's think of

the Russian investigation. That is the House that said there's no inclusion. The Senate has said there's no inclusion. I would bet my house that says there's no collusion, there is no evidence of it. Two years later, and what I think we have to ask ourselves is how in the world was this man, the acting director of the FBI, when he exercised this kind of judgment, an individual who seriously said we should implement the twenty fifth Amendment, which

is essentially a coup. I mean, it's essentially treason to say we're going to remove this president based on what based on nothing, and that is the person who is acting director of the FBI on Komi's recommendation. It brings into question every other subsequent investigation, and as you said, Faiza carter Page, Look, carter Page has been accused of treason for two and a half years. Now, what is the evidence of that? Nothing? I totally agree with the

representative years Representative Chris Stewart. Where are we supposed to look for this smoking gun, a gun of any a water gun I would take at this point, give me something. Two years in all the news coverage, all the supposed bombshell stories, all the fake news everything, where is the aha moment? And remember it's not just an aha moment, it's where is the aha moment to justify this absolutely insane, absolutely insane effort to try and get rid of this president?

Where is it? How could any of this be justified? I mean, I see, you know Komi's staffer who is like the like pajama boy meets the FBI, going on TV at CNN all the time talking about how you know this is all fine, and yeah they're gonna Muller and you know he's one of these little Mueller cheerleaders. They got a hole slew them over at CNN. Okay, what are they cheering for? Exactly? What are we supposed to find out. It's it's mind blow what has happened here,

It really is. It is completely and utterly wild. What these These are democrats in bure you know, these are Democrat bureaucrats. That's it. These are partisan actors in the most powerful justice and law enforcement agencies in the country. And they couldn't handle Hillary's loss, and they don't like Trump and they think he's ikey, and so they wanted to come up with some way to get rid of him. And now this is you can't even deny it. How is any other story right now about the Muller probe

getting any attention. I mean, you know, I know that the media can't be trusted, but this is beyond this is it's wild. I reading the stuff today with McCabe. I also want to if he is not prosecuted, If McCabe is not prosecuted for lying, justice is dead in this country. McCabe multiple times under oath about a matter under investigation and of importance to the FBI, to the Department of Justice. If he is not prosecuted, justice in this country is a sham. We have a two tiered

system of justice. I'm just gonna put it all on this because I'm pretty confident they're not going to prosecute. They're gonna find some special Oh, we like Andy, he was one of us carve out for this guy. You know. I'll say this. They do this at the FBI, at the CIA. Man, if you get on the if you get on the wrong side a loss of how the CIA they throw you under the bus and light you on fire. They don't care FBI, though, DJ they seem to cover for their own in a weird way. So

we'll be right back. You're probably familiar with AARP. Somebody you know could already be a member, But did you know that the AARP is really left wing. That's why I recommend AMAC, because AMAC gives you all the benefits of a seniors organization that's going to advocate for you, but it's also going to advocate for your beliefs because

it shares your values. So sure, with AMAC, you get discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance, but you also have an organization that's going to be pushing for the policies that matter to you, an organization that fights for your values like protecting our borders and enforcing a smaller government and less taxation. All right, So stand with AMAK as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today.

Join right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's am AC dot us slash buck because AMAC is better, better for you, better for America. Become a member today. Tell some friends and you will hear impeachment. Ben talked about more and more. Eighty percent of Democrats believe that he should be impeached. Get up in the face of some congress people. We're here to say that an agency like ICE, which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights, does

not deserve a dime. I think we need to abolish ICE. That seems really clear, eliminating ICE for instance, and President Trump yes, by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality. Capitalism without rules is theft, brothers and sisters. There's plenty of money in the world. There's plenty of money in this city. It's just in the wrong hands. Going to a text. All your assets wherever located around the globe. The world is going to end in twelve years if

we don't address climate change. Who came forward to save Earth from the scourge of Nazi until talitarian regimes. We came forward humanity is in crisis. For mothers in labor, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. How late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated

it would impair the mental health of the woman? So I mean through the third trimester. The third trimester goes all the way up to forty weeks, okay, but to the end of the third trimester, yep. I don't think we have a limit in the bill where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs that she is about to give a birth, would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified she's dilating.

My bill would allow that. Yes, we are in a war for the soul of this country, my friends, I know, we just pulled together. There a whole bunch of different, very memorable moments from the progressive left in recent weeks

and months. That is what we were up against. And when you understand that, and you see and you hear the radicalism of the Democratic Party, everything that we are talking about now and finding out about McCabe, about the invocation of the twenty fifth Amendment, about the effort to engage in a soft coup against a duly elected president who, yes, has has plenty of laws, folks, I'm aware of just about all of them. No one's saying he's perfect, no one saying he's been able to do everything he said

he's going to do. Yet I think he's a lot better than Hillary Clinton, and I think that he's actually done some pretty great stuff as president. Yet they absolutely hate his guts and the same mentality that has people that are supposed to be wise and educated and influential clapping for the Green New Deal, clapping for infanticide in those bills in Virginia and New York State. You know, those same people get jobs in the federal government. Those

same people can become CIA or FBI director. Once you understand that, then it's really not that surprising that Annie McCabe is coming out and saying that they were running essentially a counter intelligence operation, not investigation, account intelligence operation

against the president United States. I mean, they were thinking about wiring up the acting Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General rather, and we're supposed to think that that guy Rod Rosenstein is an honest arbiter of what's going on in the Mother probe. I mean, who can take this stuff seriously? Who can believe this this lunacy? Where's the accountability, where's the honesty? I mean, CNN tonight was running Chiron's on how breaking news. I'm not making this

up breaking news. President Trump's latest physical says he's obese. I mean, they specialize now in fake news, wos and fat shaming. Where's the President's an older guy? You know, he's got a little more Trump's got a little more junk in the trunk. He's got a little more to love. You know, he's cuddling. Leave him, leave the man alone? Did the MSNBC tried it out a former Obama doctor who said, I'm a little concerned with Trump's difficulty finding

words when he speaks. Oh my gosh, they're going the healths. They're not birthers, they're healths. The healths are back now surfacing. We're gonna we're gonna start putting the psychiatric community from afar right the the I'm gonna diagnose Trump without ever having spoken to him, stuff which any actual psychiatrists will tell you is wildly unethical. They're gonna start doing that. I saw the president on TV you last night, bomb, and I think that he's actually crazy. And we're coming up.

You got all these uh, all these people talking about socialism all of a sudden. My great friend Winston Churchill, you know, I know him and I commune with him on a regular basis. Nowadays, if you're not a socialist in your twenties, you have no heart. And if you're not a capitalist in your thirties, you have no mind. Working folks wants who embrace capitalism, not some state run, state controlled socialism that will set our economy back one hundred years or more. Just shows what happens when you

have a generation without growth. We're just beginning to get growth. Is you get envy? And most Americans don't care if Bill Gates is worth ninety six billion or nine hundred and sixty trillion. They want to know are there opportunities in life improving? Are their wages going up? Are they're going to have chances for a better job for themselves, better future for the kids. That's what Americans want this redistribution mentality we have today, are they paying too much

or too little? Everyone should pay less and the government would collect more from the prosperity resulting thereof. So they now what democrats want. They want higher taxes. They are embracing socialism. And I think it's important to take a step back and say, well, hold on a second. It's really not that they've changed all that much. It's not that the agenda has all of a sudden been a

radical departure from what the agenda had previously been. It's just that now they're open about what they're trying to accomplish. It's that the ends have become so clear that it's increasingly difficult, I think, for anybody to believe that they aren't pushing openly for socialism. So this is a clarification. It's not a sea change, it's not a massive shift in mentality. This is a clarification on what the Democratic

Party is and has become. But I did think it was an interesting and I was interesting to hear from Steve Forbes. There you obviously had could Low being could Low, I could look, I got it right. He's like, I can see why people like the guy and why he

was a successful TV host and everything. He does have a charm to him, for sure, but he could low and Steve Forbes, Steve Forbes is talking about this too, how people are feeling like they're not getting ahead, and there are a lot of other people who do you know the truth is that the kind of concentration of wealth.

And you know, some of my conservative friends get very oh no, no, you can and the free market, the free market, Well, when you have the kind of concentration of wealth that we have seen now, you are talking about the building of multi generational dynasties. And people that are tied to are a part of those financial dynasties.

They are going to be living very different lives from the folks who are competing on a global scale for their jobs now and also are competing with the influx of unskilled workers, which, as I've mentioned, I believe the bill that the President is supposed to sign, Mike, do we know when it's going to get signed? By the way, do we know when when it's supposed to happen? I'm

pretty sure today, but a Donahemmerson's sure they haven't. I guess they got to go through the process, right, But I don't know if sometimes they get word out to hear about how the bill will get signed at a certain time. So regardless, I think that people look at this now and they say, hold on a second, I have to compete with a globalized economy, which was not the case before the internet. The technology of the Internet

has dramatically changed things. A lot of great stuff, but also some pretty serious social upheaval and shifts that have occurred as a result of it. And then you've got the influx of legal and illegal labor. By the the legal labor issues, there's gonna be more, is it h one bs? I gotta check. But they're they're bringing in even more people to come to the legal immigration process as part of this bill. They always like to sneak that stuff in there because the donor class likes it.

The donor class likes it, and what you end up seeing, and this is what is really concerning to me going to twenty twenty is an economy that right now, because things feel pretty stable, it's fine if things get really bad, if we have a maid and remember, nobody saw the major you know, if you could see a major downturn coming maybe you could avert it. We got twenty two trillion dollars of debt right now. You go back to two thousand and eight, I was working at the CIA.

I remember when the first real murmurs of the financial crisis we're starting to, you know, bubble up to the surface. People didn't know, and by the time they knew, it was too late. You know. Once Lehman Brothers was the first one to be sacrificed of these Wall Street banks for its profligate insanity. Once that happened, then it was like, oh wow, we got a real problem here. But it's too late to just sort of turn around the cruise ship.

At that point, you're heading. You're heading for the rocks. If we get a bad economy going into twenty twenty, the Trump administration is going to be in trouble for reelection, and socialism is going to sound very appealing to a lot of people. Remember it doesn't have to sound appealing to eighty percent of the country. It just has to sound appealing to enough people to win, to win the electoral college. And we're talking about a few hundred thousand

people likely being the determining factor in that. So this is not oh my gosh, there are there's no way that these you know, on the one hand, I'm talking about how extreme the left is, and that's important so that we know these are unseerious people. But just because they're unserious in their policy it does not mean they are not a serious threat to implement those policies. Just because they're nuts doesn't mean they can't be in control.

And the hyper capitalist feeling right now in some sectors of the Republican Party, where any kind of economic nationalism, any sense of a duty to country and not just to the global free market, which, as I've been saying,

is not truly free. That's looked down upon for the most part on the right, except for Trump, but you still have the conservative mainstream and most of the establishment Republican Party thinks that telling people, you know, learn to code, which now we've turned around on liberal journalists of course, but telling people learn to code is a solution. You should just adapt to the change in the marketplace. Well,

it's simply not that simple. And I think that this is this is a moment that the Republican Party needs to really make sure that it stays connected with normal, everyday folks who do feel like there's something there's something amiss that the concentration of wealth that's going on. It's not the one percent, it's really the point zero zero one percent. But the concentration of wealth allows people to have not just an outsized influence in everything that's going

on in the country. We see this with the bezos Is and the Bloombergs and others, but also there's a sense that there are far too all to create lives that separate them from the Americans that they should be ostensibly living next to and dealing with. And you know, Charles Murray does a very good job of this in a book that I recommend to all of you coming Apart, where he says that this is no longer you know, the CEO lives in a bigger house than his workers,

but he lives in the same general neighborhood. Maybe he drives a fancier car, but his kids go to the same school as some of the workers do. Or you know, ah, these people are living at a different financial universe now. And you can say, Buck, that's fine, that's great. They're the people that give everyone else jobs. Right, Well, there's the economic reality, and there's the political reality, and they don't necessarily meet up, and they're not necessarily the same thing.

In fact, they're often not the same thing. And that's why I think when we're talking about what these super lefties are pushing for, we need to be careful. You know. It's one thing. Yeah, I can make fun of them and all. That's all well and good. If things get really nasty in the economy, though, and it could be cyclical, it might not be Trump's fault. I don't think it

would be Trump's fault. You could have a rush, a kind of stampede left in which socialism would be a much more serious, we're much more imminent concern for all of us. But then again, there's also AOC who's going to say a lot of dumb stuff. Medicare for all would save the American people a very large amount of money. Why aren't we incorporating the cost of all the funeral expenses of those who die because they can't afford access

to healthcare. We look at these figures and we say, oh, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right, Well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. I need to occupy every airport, we need to occupy every border, We need to occupy every ice office if we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress, rather all three chambers of government, the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. You use the term the

occupation of Palestine. What did you mean by that? Oh? I think what I meant is like the settlement. Just last year, we gave the military a seven hundred billion dollars attack, a budget increase which they didn't even ask for, and we're like, the world is going to end in twelve years. I'm getting climate change. I'm gonna stop. I mean, the folks listening are probably like, Buck, what are you doing? That voice that you hear, Remember all the dumb things

that we just pulled together there for you. That voice that you hear is currently the most prominent and probably in the left wing zeitgeist politician in the Democratic Party right now. It's hilarious and terrifying at the same time. And if we have a major financial downturn, it'll be mostly terrifying. What happens next. That's the first time he's given a detailed account, an account that Chicago police have said has been consistent. He hasn't changed his story. They

also said it's credible. Police have said that also that he has been very cooperative. Have you ever been threatened before? Yeah? I get threatened all the time. And I asked him about if there were other possible threats that he had, threats that he had received, and he did talk about the letter that was sent to the Fox studio. Police have confirmed that letter, and despite lack of video surveillance footage,

Smalltt hopes to rewrite the narrative about that night. There's many reasons why Jesse wanted to sit down and do this. First of us to say thank you to his many supporters. The times when he became emotional is when he was talking about gay youth in the LGBTQ community. What do you say to a young gay man, a young gay person to learn to fight? Why do you think you were targeted? I can just assume. I mean I come really,

really hard against forty five. As I said earlier, The police have said he's been consistent, that he has been credible, that he has been cooperative. Ending. Wow, they're trying really hard, guys, to make the Jessie Smallett story seemed like it all holds together. And what you are also hearing there and that was all from what Robin, what's your from ABC?

What's your name? Robin Roberts, Thank you Robin Roberts. Who is setting it up so that he's essentially now a hero even if he made this up, why might because he has raised awareness of anti LGBTQ sentiment, He has raised awareness of the vitriol across the country because of Trump. And even if he lied to raise the awareness, it's fine. He's already a hero because he's speaking out. They have

they have built this guy. Look, it's there's a part of me that that's sort of the same way that the Fire Festival Guy and those who are listening to the show, If you have not watched on either Netflix or Hulu the Fire Festival documentary, I'm telling you it's worth your time. It's pretty incredible. I've watched them both. I've heard there's a third one even though might be coming out. I think you you've got to check out.

But the Fire Festival Guy is a massive fraud, a liar, and hurt a lot of people that said the hubris and the skill with which he executes that con right, I mean you all, you've almost got to respect I mean, he's a horrible guy that you've almost got to respect. Yeah, yeah, it's insane. He was a sociopath. But I jusi's smallest story here, And look is it? Am I am? I one hundred percent sure he's lying. No, I'm ninety nine percent sure he's lying. Now I'm not ninety nine percent sure.

And we've talked about this that nothing happened to him and then he didn't maybe have some kind of a you know, a scuffle on the street with some people. I just don't believe all these flourishes about the noose and the Maga country and all that just doesn't doesn't wash. So what do you got? I was just saying, like, you're right, It's like, how come all these Robbin Roberts questions were all about like the actives inside, But how

come they weren't about details of the attack. Yeah, it's a say, it was a say it was a puff piece. I mean it was a let's make this guy into a hero such that it will be irrelevant. I'd be asking what the guy look like, what they say are they from? Why they approach you? We're worried before they approached you. You stop with all that stop with all that truth searching stuff. I just want to point out that Kyle Smith over at National Review wrote this today,

Jesse Smollett changes his story again. The actor Jesse Smollett talked about the alleged January twentieth attack on him during a Fridge of nine in Chicago, giving Good Morning America his fullest description yet of his claims. It differs substantially from what he told police initially after the alleged assault. Smollett told GMA that the alleged attack began with a nasty comment from one person who accosted him on the street.

He heard someone yell empire and then f empire and then the N word, and then he replied, he now says, what the f did you do to me? The man added, this is maga country N word, then punched him in the face. He says he fought with the two attackers, and as the two tussled, he became aware that a second assailant was present, kicking his back. After all of this, the two assailants simply ran away, and a shaken Smollett

real that there was a rope around his neck. Police has said that there's only a sixty second gap in the surveillance footage between an image of small with no rope around his neck and an image of him with a rope around his neck. He told both GMA that he was talking to his manager Brandon Moore during the attack and that the phone was in his pocket, but

that it fell on the ground in the scuffle. After the encounter, Smallett realized that Moore was still on the line, he picked up the phone and shouted it more, there's a blanking rope around my neck. He didn't call the police to tell them about the attack and the direction in which his attackers had fled. This is where and so that's this is all from Kyle Smith's breaking down the versions of the story over Nashal review. He writes, in previous versions of the story, Smollett didn't mention the

Maga comment in his first interview with police. Forty minutes later, and b in a TMZ story based on sources directly connected to Jessie, said the attackers yelled this is Maga country without the N word. Not at the outset of attack, by the way, by the way, but as they were leaving. That TMZ story also claimed Smollett had suffered a fractured rib. Smollett now says he suffered merely a bruise rib. That's a pretty substantial difference too. And then you have the

police request here in the report, which was foyed. Males dressed in black, one with a black ski mask covering his face, appeared simultaneously and both began with verbal abuse. There was no delay between when Smollett became aware of the first and second attack. The report says two unknown males approached him and gained his attention by yelling empire redacted, redacted homophobic racial slurs. Yet Smollett told GMA, I saw

where they ran. How does he know now if he did not know then, because in the initial police report said the victim does not remember any distinguishing features or in which direction they fled. So the police report is inconsistent with the stuff that he's saying on Tim. And there's more and more. I'm not gonna read all of Kyle's piece or two, but there's more and more of this. Now. I understand that people are going to say, oh buck, in the heat of the moment, when one is scared

and frightened and all that. In the heat of the moment you could forget details. How many allowances here are we going to make for this guy? How many? Yeah, that doesn't really add up, but maybe it's possible. I think we all know the answer to that. The only reason I stay on this is because in the first days when I was skeptical, I got a lot of I got a lot of heat from some people on Twitter, some blue check mark folks on Twitter, and I just want to follow on this because they're gonna drop this

story and it's gonna be like it never happened. And they're gonna drop the story because no one's going to believe that it's true anymore. We're not there yet. There's some people still believe this, Fewer and fewer people are believing it, and I'm not gonna let it go. Don't go with some liberal email system. Okay, they support progressive causes,

Here it's on this site Quillette that does a fair amount of this outside the bounds of political correctness thinking

and writing, which of course is great. It's that's where our friend Andy know who did all that work on Antifa, that's where he works. That's what he has been up to. But this piece is really a must read, and it's called public Education, Dirty Secret, written by woman named Mary Hudson. Now I've talked to producer Mike about this one because I asked Mary to come on the show, and we are an email contacts. She knows who I am. But she has a PhD in French. I think in French

literature or maybe just French language. I forget and Mike, if you're teaching and you have a PhD in French, not a PhD in astrophysics or something, or you know, chemistry, PhD in French, you're probably a live right, So which is okay? Eto she She may be a little I don't know if she's a lib or not. We're just playing that. We're playing the odds here because she didn't respond when I said, would you like to come on? You know, would you I've never heard of her before.

She's just an educator from what I understand. We did ask her to come on the show, and she ghosted me, man ghosted me. So I don't know what to tell you. She said, I heard you really like my piece. That's really nice. And I said, yes, we want to have you on, ready to talk about it silence or as we say, radio silence. So now I'm gonna talk about her piece without her Because I tried, right, we invited her on. I wanted her to be the one to tell us about it. You have got to read this thing.

It's I want to just read the opening paragraph, and then I'll kind of tell you all about how she's tackling some of the sacred cows of the public education system, how she is completely fed up with what has been going on in some of the schools that she worked in a New York City. Let me just give you at this is our opening paragraph. Then i'll tell you the stuff she talks about. Bad teaching is a common explanation given for the disastrously inadequate public education received by

America's most vulnerable populations. This is a myth. Aside from a few lemons who were notable for their rarity, the majority of teachers I worked with for nine years in New York City's public school system or dedicated talented professionals before joining the system. I was mystified by these schools abysmal results. I too, assume there must be something wrong with the teaching. This could not have been farther from the truth. Teaching French and Italian job balat, that's all

anyone knows how to say Italian right that? And Luella, which I guess isn't really Italian, but true or false. Guys, you put into tela on anything, it is delicious. It's dangerous to have it in your house because all of a sudden you be like, oh, like that old banana peal, that'll taste great with some motela on it if you don't have anything better. Mike, you know you'll do it exactly. I haven't got in years because I instantly put on

twenty pens. I can't even tell you. I know I have to keep it on my because I can't even tell you if it If it's around, I'll be like, oh, like, obviously you should put in a tell on like rich crackers or something. I mean I used to eat those things before I had tulliac disease. But yeah, I'll just put it on anything. I once dated a girl who hated to tell. I broke up with her twenty four hours later. I think that's a smart move. I mean this.

You know you can't be dealing with something like that. Mike. I'm glad you got yourself out of that unacceptable. I clearly have my priorities straight. You sent it, sent you sent any one eight hundred flowers sent Amy Today producer Mike uh the mom got Sherry's berries. Okay, but uh I went in her flowers. Huh. I see how it is. Miss Molly got one eight hundred flowers. It's all that

really matters, all right. I'm sure she liked her Sherry's berries though, Dude, anything on Valentine's Day is nice, So yeah, to tell is delicious. I've put it on weird things. I maybe even have put it on I'm trying to think of the strangest thing. It probably made its way onto a luncheon meet at some point, which it's really the that's the out Yeah, John is shaking his head. That's the outer reaches of what you should put in the tele on. When you're putting the tele on, Ham,

you've probably got a problem. But so anyway, this sorry back to the story, which is the important part of all this. Teaching French and Italian New York City high schools, I finally figured out why this was Again this is in the words of Mary Hudson, because the reason was so antithetical to the prevailing mindset. I worked at three very different high schools over the years, spanning a fairly

representative sample. That was a while ago, but the system has not improved since as the fundamental problem has not been acknowledged, let alone addressed, it would not be hard or expensive to fix. And then she goes into some details here and well, here, here's some of it. The next three years were a nightmare. School always teetered on

the verge of chaos. The previous principle had just been dismissed, although it was never stated, all that was expected of teachers was to keep students in their seats and the vaulvolume down. This was an enormous school on five floors, with students court and off into separate programs, And she just goes in. As the week's tracked painfully into months, it became apparent the students wouldn't learn anything. It was dumbfounding. It was all I could do to keep them quiet,

that is, seated and talking amongst themselves. Sometimes I had to stop girls from grooming themselves or each other. A few brave souls try to keep up with instruction. Are particularly good. History teacher once told me that she interrupted a conversation between two girls asking them to pay attention to the lesson. One of them looked up at her, scornfully and sneered. I don't talk to teachers, turning her back to resume their chat, and it goes on and

on and on. This is a declaration from a seasoned teacher in the New York City school system. She went to various public schools here, and this is a declaration of how these students that she was supposed to be teaching were completely and utterly disrespectful to authority, suffered no consequences, and did not care. I you know, you won't see people talking about this. It's so much more fashionable to say that the problem is that there's not enough funding.

The problem is that the teachers need more, the teachers need smaller class eyes. As you hear all this stuff all the time, why do some of these schools have such atrocious I mean, she talks about how people are graduating with what she would would she would honestly claim to be a fifth grade reading level. They're graduating from high school regularly and people also then at the other end of this will say we need to make college

free for everybody. So now you're going to have everybody making the decision they need to take four years in getting an undergraduate degree, which is going to mean that if everyone can do that because it's free, You're gonna have a lot of people going to college with fifth grade reading levels. Does anyone think that really benefits those people who are going to college? Would they be better off learning a trade or skill? Is an interesting when you say that, even as I say it, I realize

people would sneer at that. They would sneer at How dare you say that people should what learned to provide provide a professional service that people need, that they'd be well compensated for, and that they could have career growth in and go back to school. No one saying that if you were to become some kind of technician, some kind of skilled tradesmen, whether you're whether you're talking about being a welder or just getting a job for a few years to make some money and then go no

one says he can't go back to school. People just don't want to speak the truth about this though, that we have much more fundamental problems in the educational system in this country than small class size or the need for small class size and the need for more funding. We spend an incredible amount of money on public education in this country, but this whole piece public education, dirty little secret is just about how you have all these kids, And she says it's really at the high school age

is where it manifests itself. All these kids who don't want to listen, know that there were no consequences for not listening, are openly disrespectful to teachers, have no inclination whatsoever to study or to learn. But also, and I thought this is really interesting, all believe that they should

be able to go to college. So they won't study, they won't be quiet, but they think that they'll somehow just be pushed, That they'll be pushed because they've been pushed through the system so far, that they will be pushed through into college as well. That essentially the educational system exists to cater to them, exists to paper over their indifference there ineptitude as they get older. Right, it's not a good thing to be an eighteen year old who reads at the level of a twelve year old.

And these are based on statewide or national standards. No one ever talks about education this way. I mean, I know this. I remember my college girlfriend, well, one of two college girlfriends, but that's more information than he needs

to know. One of my college girlfriends went into the Teach for America program, and this woman, Mary Hudson, talks about Teach for America and she says, these kids show up from Teach for America that are twenty three, and they've all been so programmed by Teach for America but also the universities that they're these little social justice advocates,

and they always feel like they're the ones failing the kids. Meanwhile, an adult with a real educational background looks at them and says, no, these kids are acting like disrespectful punks, and you can't teach people who are disrespectful punks and don't care and believe the systems should cater to them and the systems should make everything go away. Mike A, this is an article about reality. My friend, you know who teach them? Their parents? Yep, where are they doing this?

Where are they in this equation? M i A. We'll be right back. Global Verification Network the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting company out there. Look, if you own a business, if you run a business, if you are in the HR Department, got to do background checks. People have a lot of ways of falsifying

their information. This could become a liability for you, And don't you want to have the peace of mind of knowing that whoever you're hiring or whoever you're leasing out of property to you or engaging in business transactions with, is the person they say they are, somebody that you can trust. You know, well, that's why you want Global Verification Network to be doing these background checks for you. They have risk mitigation experts across the country. They're headquarters

or in Chicago. Just give them a call, tell them about the way that you need this to get done right, whether you've got a lot of background checks because you've got a huge company or small, they can take care of for you. Call eight seven seven six nine five one seven nine. That's eight seven seven six nine five eleven seventy nine. Or go to my GVN dot com again, that's my GBN dot com. I failed to understand why members of this committee or the American people should find

any testimony that you give today to be truthful. If I can respond to that it wasn't a question that was not That was not a question that was the high I reserve the right to my time, Yes or no? Do you think that massacre was a fabulous achievement that happened under our watch. That is a ridiculous question. Yes or no, No, I will I will take that. Yes, I am not going to respond to that kind of

personal attack, which is not a question. It's amazing to watch somebody who is as as ignorant and foolish as ilhan Omar try to go after someone of whether you like him or not, or like his record or not. As a long time and very senior member of the Diplomatic Corps, Elliot Abrams there, the US Envoy to Venezuela.

You know, you have the the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which ilhan Omar sits on, much to the shock and displeasure of people who are not completely insane, deciding to grill Abrams here and trying to score some cheap political points by talking about massacre and El Salvador that occurred decades ago, and you know, leaves out of course the context about how he didn't want communism taking root in

Central America. Communism took root in Cuba and it has been a problem for US ever since, in fact is a problem to this day. So while we can certainly have a robust and serious discussion about the merits of anti communist policy, particularly during the Reagan and HW Bush years. And you know, we could have that talk. But that does not mean that it's okay to say is the massacre good? I mean, she's just trolling him. This is all this is. I mean, this is how people now

on the left get elected a higher office. They just try to slam and shame conservatives whenever they have an opportunity. And I just think it's interesting that the left has taken a position on this. And I've seen this. I've even had a couple of Twitter exchanges with people that on some issues are reasonably intelligent, but on this issue they're they're just idiots where they're accusing the US of

fomenting a coup in Venezuela. And let me say that it is not possible for us to do much realistically in Venezuela that would make anything worse than it already is. This is really bad. Now. That doesn't mean we should send in troops. And there are obviously our limitations to this. But in terms of upsetting the apple cart, people are starving, people are losing twenty or thirty pounds because they don't have access to food. Inflation is ten million percent or something.

I mean, it's completely out of control. The country is collapsing, it's in free fall, and the left takes this approach. Of the problem here is that America is supporting Guido instead of Maduro. The problem here is that the duly elected speaker of the parliament there is saying that he's the rightful because the last election was marved with for all, that he's the rightful president. You know, it's not like we trotted in and look, we've done this before, right,

we picked somebody who's in exile. It's not like we trotted in some individual that no one has ever heard of in that country, and no what has happened here. You just we finally have said, look, we're not gonna be a part of We're not gonna be a part of this Maduro dumpster fire situation. We are going to give diplomatic support to Guido in Venezuela and the left when you have people who are impoverished in Venezuela, who are starving in Venezuela, the country is a disaster. It

is now a failed state. It has effectively narco state government. You have some of the top figures in the Venezuelan government are sanctioned for being narco traffickers. You know, you just got on the litter. You've got thirty thousand some odd murders I think a year there. I mean, the murder rate is sky high. There's no rule of law to speak of. There's no bread on the shelves, no milk in the in this store. And the problem that ilhan Omar and others have with this is that America

is meddling. I can understand. You don't meddle in places where you know, we don't have an interest or we don't care, or where maybe you know, the people should be allowed to determine their own fate. All we're doing is saying our American presence there, our diplomatic presidence, is going to be interfacing with this guy, not this guy. And we're joining with all of the decent countries of the Western hemisphere to say that we're not going to

play games anymore with this guy Maduro. We want to be involved with Guido and ilhan Omar and these extreme leftist types. See they just view this as an opportunity to try to trash Trump foreign policy. They don't really care about the suffering of people in a place like Venezuela,

which I think is so interesting here. If they cared about the suffering of the Venezuelan people, wouldn't they be in favor of the US supporting a Venezuelan leader who is duly elected, who based on the Venezuelan constitution and on everyone's understanding of what happened in the last election there, sham elect that Maduro Ran is the president is the president event as well, we're not imposing somebody, we're not.

And if people say that we're engaged in a coup, wouldn't we be engaged in a coup if we supported a dictator who's broken the law there in continuing to be in office. See, this is where foreign policy can get a little complicated. Just status quo is not the same as non intervention. Status quo can actually be being

a part of the of the problem. Right if you are are support Let's say we have diplomatic relations with a country and then all of a sudden, the leadership in that country decides that they're not going to recognize new elections that just happened, and we say, sorry, you know, there's actually a government now that's that's supposed to supplant you or supposed to replace you. We're going to work with them. Are we engaged in a coup? You got to you gotta pick sides here. There's there's no standing

on the silence. But Ilhan Omar doesn't think about any of that. Ilan Omar just likes to make foolish comments about how Elliot Abrams is responsible for a massacre in El Salvador decades ago, because she's really trying to take pot shots at the guy, and this is how she gets her base excited. And this is how the left wing views people like Elliot Abrams who are trying to make things better for the people of Venezuela. This is why a lot of the posturing you see on the

left it bothers me. A lot of the posturing you see on the left is hollow. You know. Oh, they care so much about people who are impoverished and who are oppressed, and they care so much about the third world. Well, really, what they care about is how does playing to people's emotions affect their ability to be in power, to have

authority over other Americans and to get their way. That seems to be the single most important thing for a lot of these leftists, people like Ilhano more that that talk the like they speak the language of social justice, but they don't really care about justice, care about sounding like somebody who wants to make a difference in these areas. But really, when there are people who are oppressed, if it doesn't add up in a way that benefits them politically,

they're done with it. They don't care anyone shows that everyday Americans still have the power to organize, fight for their communities and they can have more saying this, even the this man in the world, Yeah, she thinks it's incredible. All right, AOC happy that Amazon is not in fact going to build its New York City headquarters. I am

here in New York City right now. I can tell you that I'm sure there are some people in the Long Island City section of Queens who are not going to be thrilled about what this might do to their real estate value. But Amazon has said that after much thought and deliberation, we've decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon and Long Island City. That was according to a spokeswoman from Amazon.

Today turns out that seventy percent John seventy percent of New Yorkers polled support Amazon coming to New York with the twenty five thousand jobs that it would bring with the campus, the headquarters, the restaurants and support systems that would probably pop up right next to the campus. But you had local politicians, that's right, the very left wing, very progressive types who proliferate here in New York City.

They thought that it was not okay to give one of the world's most valuable companies billions of dollars in tax incentives. According to the Wall Street Journal here, that's the main reason. So this is quite a reversal because there had been a long search for Amazon to find this.

This is gonna be its second headquarters and actually, I'm sorry it says fifty thousand jobs was another estimate here, five billion dollars in investment, and instead it's going to go forward within Nashville and Virginia, Northern Virginia, which depending on where you are, I find Northern Virginia to be

a pretty uninspiring place. But this just goes to show you that, you know, the progressive mentality here in New York City is powerful enough that even Amazon can't break through it that's Hey, we're gonna hire a lot of people. We're gonna hire a whole lot of folks. And that wasn't good enough because of the tax breaks they're going

to move here. You know, I'm a little bit of two minds, two minds about this because on the one hand, it does seem strange that a company should have to be wooed to set up in a state via tax breaks. That is cronyism. On the other hand, doesn't New York want to have Amazon here? Doesn't New York City want that to be part of the jobs in financial ecosystem here? So we'll see. But Amazon is not going to be getting built here. And the progressives view this as some

kind of a win. And you had like Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer say, quote, Amazon refused to change and accept New York values, And yeah, Kazio Cortez view this as a as a huge victory. Oh you know what this really comes down to, folks, now that I see this in this piece, anti union? Amazon is anti union. That that was a You see, anytime you're anti union, you're going to run into the Democrat machinery in a buzz saw like fashion and that was a that was a

big problem. I left that out of the conversation up to this point. But you have Amazon executives who had to sit there and get grilled about how much they're paid. And then also the fact that Amazon is not good when it comes to dealing with with unions, meaning that they don't cave to union demands. And yeah, that's that's why the because if you want to get elected in a place like New York City, you have to essentially you have to play ball with the unions. You have

to do what they want you to do. You have to support the policies they want you to support. So I'm not surprised given that they went on they went on an anti union well, they went on the anti union list that was going to be enough to essentially knock them out of being warmly received in New York City. I am a little surprised that they managed. They managed to do this and then then Amazon pulled it after

the fact. I figured they would have gotten this done beforehand, but but no, it seems like turns out Amazon just couldn't take the heat and decided to get out of New York's kitchen. Like soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. It's time for roll call. Indeed, roll call time. Before I get into it today though, let me say that today is just kind of a kind of a tough day, not the

most fun day I've had in a while. I had to deal with some business issues and Miss Molly had a family emergency, so I am solo on Valentine's Day, which we were not anticipating, but she had a true family emergency she had to deal with. So that you know the day, the day wasn't going wasn't going great,

I could put it that way. But I was walking through I went to visit a friend of mine over who works over at the thirty Rock building here in New York City, and I was walking through the lobby there and a young gentleman named Raheem with a few of his friends were walking past, and I had my earbuds in. I actually was listening to UM listening to a call at the time, and a guy rahim waves

the unit says you buck Sexton. I'm like, as a matter of fact, I am, sir, and he goes, I listened to you all the time, And I said, Raheim, you just made my day. I'll give you a shout out tonight on radio, and so here we are, right he a shout out, man, Thank you so much for the high five. Always nice to see a member of the team out and about and really did, really did appreciate it. And I hope you had a good rest of your day with the folks you were hanging out with.

So thank you so much and great to see you, my friend. All right, with that, we will do some roll call. I say this to you, of course, and then all of a sudden my Facebook freezes. All right, here we go, Bart, right buck. I always enjoy when you or your listeners recommend books, films, or music. The band Sabbatan is now a favorite. The Last Kingdom Season one was great, season two not so much. I agree with you, Bart when it comes to country music. I grew up in the South, but I still can't seem

to get into it. However, I'm a big fan of southern rock. Check out the band Jive Mother Mary for sound that is reminiscent of CCR and SKINNERD and their song The Great Decline tells you what side the right one of the political spectrum they sit on. Because Contrary to what you may I thought, the music of the South is southern rock, not country. Well, Barret, always good to hear from you, my friend, and I I had never heard this southern rock versus country paradigm. John, are

you familiar with this? I'm not. I don't really a little bit. Yeah, maybe so we'll see Andre's rights. The AOC joke regarding ice cream clever. The punchline nothing because there's nothing there to freeze. It took me four seconds to get it. Funny, but kind of a want wampum. It is definitely a want wamp So the AOC joke, I guess we read off from the Roll Call yesterday. There you have it, Harry whoa Harry. Harry has written

quite an opus here, Harry rights. Hey Buck, I'm behind my essential podcast listening, so forgive me if you've moved on from this subject. Diversity is our strength. My medicare communications come with notices in fifteen different languages. Of course, all Americans should read and speak these languages and fluently, so that in their day to day lives. I can interact with anyone who's not taking the effort to learn English in America. Right do they do that in bilingual

Canada or trilingual Switzerland, the fifteen languages thing. That is, when I visited France, I was so insulted that all the natives would not speak English that it really what do you say to me? When you worked overseas, you definitely expected anyone you met to be able to speak English, didn't you. It annoys me when you see containers and stories written in Spanish, though I do understand it when instructions enclosed are more than one language for products to

be sold internationally. Borders we don't need no stinking borders or national identity shows, Hi, Harry, Harry was there's a lot like going on there, Harry. I try to get through that, and I think I get I think I get what you're putting down, and I appreciate it. So thank you very much for that. Charles writes, he sent me a link that's that's not that's not gonna be fun to be like x y q rs dot dot backslash underscore. I can't. I can't read the link off

on it. That wouldn't make sense. Kristen White, your Beto impression kills me. Has anyone told you what sounds like? Care from Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, because if you really listen to Beto, like he kind of sounds like that, like he's got like a little more raspy in his voice, Like I can't really do it, but he kind of does this thing like air. Well, that's what Betos sounds like, and it's just like it's so hip, a millennial sounding. Yeah, he's uh, he's not going to be president that I

can tell you. Will he be the Democrat nominee. I don't know. I'd have to leave that to uh, some of you. Peter writes, Hey Buck, I'm not sure if you saw it, but the border deal includes protection for a butterfly sanctuary on the border, preventing a wall from being built there. Yep, Democrats care more about butterflies than American lives. Shield tie Pete up in Michigan. Yeah, Pete, I hopefully I've made at least some of my objections

to this clear. But you are correct in that there's a lot of stuff in this in this omnibus that is going to get signed here, or rather the Senate has passed that is a problem, and Trump says he's going to sign it, so we'll see faith. Hey Buck, podcast listener here. If you're delving into country music, do yourself a favor and try Graham Parsons, Emmy Lua Harris. A good alt country pick is Ryan Bingham. His first three albums are very solid. Anything coming out of Nashville

this century is crap. But Dwight Yoakum never disappoints. Faith from NYC, Hey, Faith from NYC. I will add those to my list. Tyson writes, I'm a little late the conversation about country music, but here's my take. Most country music on the radio is basically pop. You need to check out red dirt music like Reckless Kelly, Ryan Bingham, Turnpike, Troubadors, just to name a few. Shields High John, I've heard of none of those. Do you know these? I am

not familiar with any of these. Lauren writes, O MG, Tucker just played your favorite Ghostbusters clip. My life is now complete. I'm assuming it was guts and dogs living together a mass hysteria, which is up there with when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes and egon your mucus. There's so many, so many quotable lines and Ghostbusters, John, choose, what do you mean? Choose Matt Rights hey Buck. Lots of great country suggestions so far.

Give Chris le Doux a listen very popular out here in the West. If you want something a bit heavier, try dark country shields high. I don't know about any of that. Do you know about any stuff? I'd still very much coming up short here in my knowledge of the country music. Oh let's see we have Cade hey Buck with AOC's Green New Deal and Ilhan Omar rambling her rambling attack on Elliott Abrams. It's clear that neither one had much input on what actually spilled out onto

the page. Who do you think is writing their work for them? Omar could barely read out loud what was on the page and can barely properly pronounce the words. Who is behind her work? That's a that's a fair question. I assume there are people not just on her staff, but I'm sure there are different left wing groups and

organizations that are giving her information. It was I mean, she was embarrassing herself in my opinion when it comes to talking to Elliot Abrams, because he's just The knowledge disparity there is substantial, but doesn't matter to the left. I mean, the knowledge disparity as far as the left is concerned, is Irrell because it's all about scoring points against a hated enemy. In this case, the hated enemy is Elliott Abrams. Nikki, Hey Buck, the time of your

show was changed up here. My husband and I would listen from eighteen hundred twenty one hundred hours, and now you're on from fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred. Since I'm working, I only catch the last hour usually, But I'm doing a one hundred mile fat bike race this weekend, and I download a bunch of your podcasts. Someone will need to keep me company in the Alaskan wilderness. I usually listen to Serial Killer, but when it's dark and you're

middle of nowhere, the podcast can freak you out. Ha ha Shield's Eye Nikki, Well, Nikki, I'm so glad I can keep you company up there via the podcast in the freezing cold weather of a nighttime Alaska. And what is a John? What is a fat bike? I feel like I feel like are we shaming bikes now? We shouldn't shame bikes. All bikes are All bikes are beautiful, John, All bikes come in different sizes. Let's see we have John more on the Smallett situation looks like his manager

is refusing to turn over his phone records. Our friend Andy No over at a quillet. Andy does some great work on the social justice left. Andy No has put out a tweet on this one saying that the yeah, you know, you know why the managers refusing to turn over his phone records because they're lying about this. There's no other there's no other explanation. There's no other explanation for this. Okay, So I just think that that's pretty clear at this point, and let's see we get here. Michael, right,

oh Buck, you're killing me, man. Just listen to Monday's show. And I completely agree that Corrella Deville was the worst. But as a Dalmatian, I knew I was going to get a Dalmatian. I knew I was gonna get some Dalmatian owners to come at me hard on this one. As a Dalmatian owner myself, I have to say, overall, the breed's temperament are not that bad. They are a high energy breed and if not given a sufficient outlet for that energy, they can be terrors as them being biters.

This is partially true, okay. Let's I mean if you're the owner, and you're saying they're kind of bitters because they're biters. This give me partially true. The breed is prone to deafness, and for obvious reasons, a deaf dog will be more prone to biting. Can never get mad at the buckster, but I gotta defend my kiddos. Have a good day in Shield's High. And also, Michael sent a photo of his mustache. His mustache is world class.

His mustache is what you would expect to see on a guy who's like wearing the pants but shirtless and has the arms out from like a boxing print from the nineteen twenties. He's got that. He's got a nineteen twenties boss mustache. So there you have it. But yeah, Dalmatians, everyone loves, just like everyone loves their children. Everyone loves their furry children. Dalmatians, if they're your breed, I understand.

But the reputation is the reputation, which is that they tend to be they tend to be a little high strong, they tend to be biters.
